Chapter 76 I Don’t Agree
Mu Chenze brought a chair, placed it solemnly in front of the kang, and sat down. "Mom, have you ever calculated how much transportation fees our family has to pay every year?"
Qin Mahua was still lying there. "Do I even need to calculate this? You rent a car for 1,500 yuan a month. If you take two months off a year and deliver goods in the city for ten months, the annual transportation fee is 15,000 yuan."
Mu Chenze gave a thumbs up, a look of admiration on his face, "Mom, your calculation is really right! I can save 5,000 yuan from this year's transportation costs by buying a truck."
"you mean……"
"I mean, I want to discuss with you, should we buy a truck? A domestically made one will do. We don't want an imported one. An imported one costs thirty thousand yuan. A domestic one costs ten thousand."
As soon as Mu Chenze said this, Qin Mahua sat up from the kang, stretched out her hand and tried to take her shoes.
Mu Chenze thought his mother wanted to put on the shoes and give him money, so he quickly handed them over.
Qin Mahua took the shoes and put them on him.
As expected, there were several shoe prints on Mu Chenze's pants.
Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been beaten.
"Mom, what are you doing? If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely..."
Qin Mahua's heart was beating fast. She covered her heart with one hand and held her shoes with the other. "I can't say it nicely! You're thinking you've earned 10,000 yuan these days, right? Even if you did earn it, it's still under my control. I don't agree to buy a truck! Can't you just be a good fisherman?"
He threw the shoe over, but Mu Chenze dodged it.
"Okay, okay. If you don't agree, then don't agree. There's no need to get angry, right? I can't buy the truck if you don't give me the money. I'm going to go back to the house and sleep. I have to stay up late to go to the city tonight."
Mu Chenze returned to his bedroom.
Qin Mahua was so stimulated by Mu Chenze that she couldn't lie down at all. She changed into the clothes and shoes she wore when killing fish, shouted to Mu Chenze into the room, and asked him to come out and lock the door before going to sleep.
Then go out.
When I arrived at Chu Xuan's house, I happened to see Chu Xuan changing into a small floral dress, which made her skin look even whiter. She no longer looked fat, but a cute kind of fat.
Qin Mahua's mood suddenly became relaxed, as if her work had been best displayed.
Chu Xuan really liked the cool and flowing feeling the skirt brought. "Aunt Qin, thank you and Sister-in-law Fu Qing for making the skirt for me."
Gao Meijuan and the others walked into the yard one after another, ready to go to work. When they saw Chu Xuan wearing a new dress, they couldn't help but praise her.
"Xiaoxuan has become beautiful."
"Yes, he looks much thinner."
"Xiao Xuan looks great in skirts. She'd look even better if she had long hair!"
Long hair? Chu Xuan suddenly remembered what Mu Chenze said to her in the morning, that he disliked her for always having short hair and not knowing how to dress up.
Maybe I should grow my hair long in the future and try a long hairstyle. It might make my face look better.
At this moment, Ji Ping's voice came from outside the door, "Chen Ze, why are you standing here? Why don't you go in? Are you here to find Chu Xuan or Aunt Qin?"
Qin Mahua came all the way here and didn't notice her son following her. She looked outside the door with a puzzled look on her face.
I actually saw that prodigal son who was going to spend 10,000 yuan to buy a truck. "Xiao Ze, why are you here? If you have anything to say, go home and talk to me! Even though there are so many people here, I won't give you face."
Mu Chenze didn't say that he came here specifically to see Chu Xuan wearing a skirt, but instead made up an excuse, "I didn't make you angry at home, and I was worried about you, so I came here to check on you. Are you okay?"
This made Qin Mahua furious. "How dare you bring that up? Go home now! Don't hang around in front of me anymore!"
"Okay. Mom, don't be angry. I promise not to mention that again. Let's go!"
Mu Chenze had already seen the scene he wanted to see, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
When passing by Ji Ping's cart of fish, Ji Ping asked quietly, "What made your mother angry? Aren't you usually good at coaxing her?"
Mu Chenze responded in a low voice, "I told my mother that I wanted to buy a truck for ten thousand yuan."
They whispered to each other.
"How dare you say that! For us fishermen, the right thing to do is to save money to build houses and buy new fishing boats. Why buy a truck? One is for sea transportation and the other for land transportation, and the procedures involved are completely different."
Mu Chenze didn't expect his best friend to say this, "Even you don't support me?"
Ji Ping said without hesitation, "That's right. I don't support it."
"I was originally thinking of borrowing money from you to buy it secretly."
No need to think about it now.
Mu Chenze left listlessly.
Chu Xuan was going to work, so he went back to the bedroom and changed back into his work clothes.
In her previous life, Qin Mahua and Fu Qing also made a skirt for her, which was given to her on the morning of her wedding day. When she wore it, Feng Chunhua fell in love with it at first sight and asked her to change it, saying that it was for her future daughter-in-law.
Chu Xuan agreed immediately despite Mu Chenze's objection, changed into Feng Chunhua's old clothes and returned to her husband's house, clamoring for Qin Mahua and Fu Qing to make another skirt for her.
They refused to do it again.
She had a big quarrel with them both.
She will cherish this dress for the rest of her life.
She folded the skirt carefully and put it in the closet before going to the kitchen to check the oven.
Ji Ping had already unloaded the skinned fish and left.
Chu Feng also walked into the kitchen.
"Sister, I want to go to the county town to sell grilled fish fillets to make some money. It's a good opportunity to take a stroll around the county town."
A look of anticipation.
Chu Xuan then realized how incompetent she was as a sister. After making money, she didn't even take Xiao Feng to the county town for a good stroll.
"Tomorrow afternoon we'll go to the county town to sell grilled fish fillets. I'll take you around and buy you some new clothes."
"Great! So happy!" Chu Feng ran out of the kitchen cheering, "My sister will take me to the county town to buy new clothes tomorrow."
When Qin Mahua heard this, she hurriedly called out, "Xiao Xuan, I've also made new clothes for Xiao Feng. All I need to do is sew them on the sewing machine. They're short-sleeved shirts and shorts for this season. If you go to the county town, buy him long-sleeved shirts for autumn."
Chu Xuan walked out of the kitchen, a grateful look on her face. "Aunt Qin, thank you so much! I'm sorry for the expense."
She didn't pay because she knew it would be too awkward to do so.
I plan to buy a piece of clothing for Qin Mahua and Fu Qing in the future.
Qin Mahua smiled and waved her hands, "We're just helping each other, what's there to thank you for? You usually spend a lot of money on us."
Gao Meijuan looked apologetic, "Xiao Xuan, you've been so good to me, and I haven't even made clothes for you and Xiao Feng..."
Chu Xuan held her hand and comforted her, "Grandma Gao, everyone has seen how hard you've been working lately. Working overtime and helping make clothes are all helping me. I remember all the kindness you've shown me in the past. I won't think you're being mean to me just because you didn't make clothes for me..."
Qin Mahua also agreed, "That's right. Everyone contributes in different ways. I can only kill fish, I can't watch the oven, I'd get heatstroke, so I help Xiaoxuan do something else."
Hua Daling, Widow Niu, and Liu Zhaodi looked at each other, all three of them wanting to help Chu Xuan more. So let's work even harder!
Everyone contributes in the areas where they are good at.
Not long after I sat down to kill the fish, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Feng went over to open the door.
I saw Uncle Qi standing outside the door with a horse-drawn cart behind him.
"Master Qi, what are you doing..."
